The invention relates to a method for determining the addition amount of minced white
gourd in white
gourd sauce through
tartronic acid, and belongs to the technical field of food detection. The method comprises the following steps: S1, preparing
tartronic acid standard solutions with different concentrations, carrying out
liquid phase determination to obtain a
linear relation between the
tartronic acid concentration and a
liquid phase peak area, and making a
standard curve; and S2, taking the white
gourd sauce and the white gourd paste, adding water, stirring, dissolving, carrying out
ultrasonic dispersion, squeezing out water through a filter bag, centrifuging, taking supernate, carrying out membrane
filtration to prepare a sample, carrying out
liquid phase detection, respectively determining the content of tartronic acid in the white gourd sauce and the content of tartronic acid in the white gourd paste, and obtaining the addition amount of the white gourd paste according to the
standard curve. The tartronic acid is a stable characteristic index in the
wax gourd sauce
processing process, the method for representing the
wax gourd content in the
wax gourd sauce by measuring the content of the tartronic acid is an efficient and accurate method, the
repeatability is good, and safety and reliability are achieved. The
content determination method provided by the invention can save cost and reduce
energy consumption, and is suitable for wide popularization and application.
